GAS-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,316, dated May 22,1868.

Application filed Segtanherl, 1886. Serial No. 214,500. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL J. ORIELLY, of the city of Buffalo, in thecounty of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Gas- Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved device for lighting the gas in gasstoves and fur naees, and has for its object to provide simple andinexpensive means whereby the gas eau be ignited from the exterior ofthe stove.

rlhe invention consists of the improvements which will be hereinafterfully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a sectional elevationof astove provided with my improved lighting device. Fig. 2 is afragmentary horizontal section in line :c a", Fig. l. Fig. 3 is anenlarged sectional view of the cock whereby the supply of' gas to theburner is regulated. Fig. 4 is a similar View ofthe cock by which thesupply of gas to the lighter is regulated. Fig. 5 is a sectionalelevation showing a modified construction of the lighting device. Figs.6 and 7 are vertical sections of the gascoeks represented by Figs. 3 and4.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.

A represents a gas-stove of any ordinary or suitable construction, and athe fire-place or flame-chamber thereof.

B represents the main gassupply pipe which enters the side of the stoveand is connected in the lianiechamber a with a suitable burner, c.

I) represents a stop-cock or valve arranged in the main supply-pipe B,and whereby the supply or" gas to the burner is controlled.

rllhe supply-pipe B is preferably provided with an air-injector, d,whereby the gas iiowing through the pipe B is mixed with air before itreaches the burner. The air-inlet of the injector d may be provided Withan airn supply pi pe, d', terminating outside of the room in which thestove is placed, whereby the whistling noise is prevented which is usually caused by the air entering the injector.

E represents the gas-lighter,which projects into the flame-chamber c ofthe. stove and ter- Ininates in such close proximity to the gasburner cthat the gas' issuing from the ,latter will become ignited by Contactwith the flame ot' the lighter. The latter extends through the side wallof the tlamechaniber, and is provided on the outside of the stove withone or more apertures, by which the gas issuing from the lighter can beignited.

c represents a branch pipe, by which the lighter E is supplied with gasfrom the main pipe B beyond the cock b ot' the main pipe, andf is astop-cock, by which the tlow of gas through the branch pipe can beregulated.

In the construction ol' the l ighter represented in Figs. 1 and 2 thelighter is provided on its upperside with aseries of perforations, g,which extend frointhe inner end of the lighter to the outer side of thereehamber a ot' the stove, so that upon turning the cock f to admit gasto the lighter the gas issuing from the perforations g outside of therechamher can be ignited, and will cause the ignition ofthe gas issuingfrom the perforations g of the lighter within the irechamber.

h represents a shield secured to the inner side ofthe iireehamber abovethe lighter, so as to direct the tlauies of the small lighterjetsinwardly or toward the burner c, and to prevent the perforations frombecoming clogged by the lire-'proof material which is usually placed inthe hre-chamber.

In the construction represented in Fig. 5 the lighter' is provided witha single gas-jet, i, located outside ofthe iire-chainberaof the stove,and the flame is carried into the fire-chamber and toward the burner cby a detlector, l, which envelops the jet t', and is provided on itsunder side with an opening, t, for the admission of air.

The cocks b and f, whereby the gas-supply to the main burner an d thelighter is controlled7 are provided with suitable stops, ja1rdk,wl1ereby the movement of each cock is limited to a quartenturn. rEhe cocks I)and f are provided, respectively, with handles J and K,which arearranged in the same plane in such manner that the handle J of the cockI will be prevented by the handle K from being moved in the direction inwhich the cock bis opened, as represented in Fig. 5, thereby compellingthe attendant to open the lighter'cockf before the main cock b can beopened.

In Fig. 5 both cocks Z and f are represented IOO closed, in whichposition of the cocks the handle J is locked in one direction by thehandle K and in the other direction by the stop j.

Vhen it is desired to ignite the gas in the stove, the eockfof thelighter is opened, thereby allowing the gas to escape from the lighterE, and the gas so issuing from the lighter is then ignited outside ofthe stove. The valve b of the main supply-pipe B is now opened, wherebythe gas is allowed to pass to and through the burner c. rllhe gasissuing from the latter is immediately ignited bythe flame of thelighter, thereby avoiding the danger resulting from the accumulation ofa large volume of gas in the stove before ignition takes place. Vhen thegas issuing` from the burner has been ignited, the valvef of the lighterisclosed.

My improved lighter enables the attendant to light the main burner fromthe outside of the stove with convenience and safety.

I claim as my inventionl. The combination,with the trechamber of astove, of a main gas burner located within the fire-chamber, and astationary lightei` conneoted with the gas-supply pipe and extendinginto the fire-chamber, said lighter being provided with an ignitionaperture outside of the hre-chamber and with a communicatingflame-aperture within the tire-chamber near the main burner,substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the fire-chamber of a stove and a gas-supplypipe, of a gasburner located within the {ire-chamber, and a lighterconnected with the gas-supply pipe, and consisting ofa gas-pipe providedwith perforations extending from the outside to the inside of thelire-chamber, whereby the gas-jets within the rechamber are ignited uponlighting one. of the gas-jets outside ofthe tire-chamber, substantiallyas set forth.

3. The combination, with the fire-chamber of a stove, of a maingasburner, a lighterprovided with perforations, and a shield arranged inthe fire-chamber above the perforations of the lighter, whereby thelighter is protected, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, with the lire chamber, the main burner, and lighter,of the supplycocks?)andjiprovided,respectively,with stops j and 7c andhandles Jand K, arranged to come in contact with each other and preventthe movement of the handle of the main cock before the 1i ghter-cock hasbeen opened', substantially as set forth.

Vitness my hand this 22d day of September, 1886.

M. J. O RELLY.
